FAIR SHARE FOR EQUALITY: Third Annual Convening | February 1, 2017 eqca.org | 3 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Governor Brown, Honorable Members of the California Legislature, state and local public policy makers, and members of the community: We are proud to present the report of the third annual Fair Share for Equality convening that took place in Sacramento on February 1, 2017. Community leaders, elected officials, policy makers and advocates from across California came together in the state’s capital for a full day of panels and discussions on the most pressing challenges the LGBTQ community is facing and will face in the years ahead. Speakers shared how the community and our government can better meet the needs of LGBTQ people and vulnerable communities that we are a part of. Despite considerable advances, the LGBTQ community continues to face significant disparities in health and well-being compared to the broader community. Doctors today know more than ever before about HIV treatment and prevention, but many lack the cultural competency necessary to foster welcoming environments for their LGBTQ patients. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) made quality health insurance accessible to millions of additional Californians, but contingents in Congress are attempting to roll back the ACA in a manner that would eliminate and harm health coverage for millions of LGBTQ people. Dynamic and thriving immigrant families contribute to California’s communities, but the new federal administration plays on hate and xenophobia by calling to deport millions of immigrants, ripping them from their homes, jobs, schools, and families. LGBTQ people—particularly seniors, youth, and people who are transgender or gender non-conforming—still disproportionately lack necessities like food and housing. California has one of the most pro-equality legal frameworks in the world yet, until recently, had outdated criminal laws that fostered HIV stigma and hindered treatment, testing, and public health goals. In the criminal justice system, LGBTQ people face higher rates of arrest, incarceration, recidivism, and physical and sexual assault in prisons compared to the general population. Lawmakers and community members lack sufficient data, and funding, to combat these disparities. In this time of political upheaval and uncertainty, one thing is clear—our communities must come together to clarify objectives and coordinate responses. Equality California Institute’s groundbreaking Fair Share for Equality initiative forges community connections and educates legislators and policy makers about how to advance the health and well-being of California’s LGBTQ community. It also brings together leaders and experts to develop program recommendations that will be beneficial to those in our community who are most vulnerable. Almost 200 people attended the 2017 Fair Share for Equality convening, including LGBTQ leaders, representatives from community organizations, educators, social service experts, and government officials and staff. Expert panelists outlined critical program and funding needs and prepared detailed reports with policy recommendations. Equality California Institute thanks these speakers and co-sponsoring organizations, which are set forth on the FAIR SHARE FOR EQUALITY: Third Annual Convening | February 1, 2017 eqca.org | 4 preceding pages, for their contributions. Each report is included herein, and we recommend that you review them. The partner reports were provided by program participants in 2017 and represent the policy views and perspectives of their authors; they do not necessarily represent policy views of other individuals or organizations participating in the convening. Our summary report represents the views of Equality California and Equality California Institute. The following recommendations inform our legislative and education strategies: • Defend access to high-quality, affirming, and affordable health care. • Support implementation and funding for a statewide coalition plan for “getting to zero.” • Modernize HIV transmission laws that single out and stigmatize people with HIV. • Address systemic bias and violence against transgender and gender non-conforming people. • Implement programs to

    September 20, 2019 Program Design Branch, Program Development Division, Food and Nutrition Service United States Department of Agriculture 3101 Park Center Dr., Alexandria, VA 22302 Re: Notice of Proposed Rule Making -- Revision of Categorical Eligibility in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) RIN 0584-AE62 Dear Program Design Branch: The undersigned lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) and allied organizations urge the USDA to withdraw its proposed rule, Revision of Categorical Eligibility in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). If implemented, the proposed rule would harm millions of low-income Americans, with particularly negative implications for the LGBTQ community. Since 1996, over forty jurisdictions have implemented a process known as “broad-based categorical eligibility” (BBCE), for households receiving some in-kind services funded through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. While federal requirements restrict SNAP assistance to households with net incomes under 100% of the federal poverty level (FPL), gross incomes under 130% of the FPL, and in many cases liquid assets below $2,250, the BBCE option gives states flexibility to adjust these thresholds.i Most states have opted to eliminate the asset test and increase the gross income limit (up to 200% of the FPL) for SNAP. In this manner, states can: 1) extend SNAP eligibility to families with gross incomes working their way up the economic ladder but still struggling with high costs for basics, and 2) incentivize families to save by loosening restrictions on assets. Congress has consistently upheld BBCE since its inception, most recently during the 2018 Farm Bill.ii The proposed rule would greatly undercut the scope of BBCE, effectively sidestepping Congress’ bipartisan efforts to maintain the option.

    President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 March 5, 2013 Dear President Obama, From the winding footpaths of California’s Pacific Crest Trail, to the Peak of Cadillac Mountain at Maine’s Acadia National Park, our country’s parks, forests and wildlife refuges are where Americans make some of their most cherished memories. Our nation’s public lands are an integral part of our recreational, cultural, historical and economic heritage. Yet many of these iconic landscapes are facing increasing threats from overdevelopment, pollution and underfunding. As a far-reaching coalition of groups ranging from environmentalists to veterans to hunters and anglers to local business owners and elected officials, we urge you to protect our nation’s treasured public lands. Future generations deserve the opportunity to experience these iconic pieces of our American legacy. You can help ensure their protection by calling for full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund in your upcoming FY14 budget proposal. Today we are sending you a list of 401 signers onto 16 state-specific letters to express the broad range of support that exists for protecting our public lands, and the programs they depend on, such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Each state-specific letter highlights local iconic parks, forests and wildlife refuges that are listed by that state below, along with that state’s signers to those letters. Each state’s letter to the president states: The annual diversion of Land and Water Conservation Fund funds to non-conservation purposes has left a legacy of backlogged conservation and recreation needs and missed opportunities to safeguard our natural heritage.

  • The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, First Floor Sacramento, CA 95814
    The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, First Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Thank you for your incredible leadership and seeing our state through the COVID-19 crisis. The bold and decisive actions that you have taken have saved lives and established California as an example of how to meet this moment for the rest of the nation. We wish you, your family and your staff health and safety, especially during these trying times. We write to you as leaders of LGBTQ+ and allied nonprofit organizations in urgent need of financial support in order to survive this crisis. The economic fallout from COVID-19 has upended our budgets by forcing us to cancel fundraising events and preventing us from completing reimbursement-based grant deliverables that require face-to-face interaction and outreach. Meanwhile, many of our generous sponsors and donors have been impacted by the crisis themselves and are no longer in a position to support our work financially. Our work on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community — a community disproportionately at risk of the worst medical, financial, employment, and social impacts of COVID-19 — is imperiled by this crisis and the lack of a targeted comprehensive funding response. LGBTQ+ people already experience greater disparities in health and well-being compared to the general public. These disparities include higher rates of HIV and cancer that can lead to compromised immune systems, higher rates of tobacco use and smoking, barriers to healthcare access and — for the more than three million LGBTQ+ elders living in the United States — widespread social isolation and a hesitancy to reach out to health and other care providers.

    May 19, 2020 Senator Scott Wiener California State Senate Sacramento, CA 95814 Via email to: [email protected] cc: [email protected] & [email protected] Re: OPPOSITION of SB 939 – UNFAIRLY NEGATES LEASES & UNEVENLY HARMS BUSINESSES Dear Senator Wiener: Established in 1924, Central City Association is an advocacy organization committed to the vibrancy of Downtown Los Angeles and increasing investment in the region. As you know from our support of SB 50 and SB 827, we are strong advocates for walkable and inclusive communities and greatly appreciate the work you have done to support businesses across California; however, we strongly oppose SB 939 as proposed. CCA understands the impossible fiscal challenges that businesses are facing across the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we believe SB 939 unfairly benefits one business over another. COVID-19 will continue to impact the health and safety of our communities and businesses. As a membership organization that represents approximately 400 organizations in LA County, we know that all businesses are impacted by this pandemic. However, SB 939 only provides protection to a small segment, while shifting economic harm to other private businesses and removing rights from commercial property owners. Governor Newsom has shown strong leadership in issuing a series of executive orders limiting evictions, including Executive Order N-28-20 which gives local government the ability to protect commercial tenants from evictions. Legislative leadership has also proposed a plan that helps lessors and lessees. We request your bill be changed to protect all businesses and not a special subset.

  • A Proposal That Could Allow Bars Across California to Serve Your Favorite Cocktail Until 4 A.M
    A proposal that could allow bars across California to serve your favorite cocktail until 4 a.m. is in the home stretch and will be on the governor's desk by the end of summer if it's successful. Over the weekend, supporters of the Let Our Communities Adjust Late Night (LOCAL) Act rallied at the Broadway Theater District downtown. A spokesman for Sen. Scott Wiener, the San Francisco legislator behind the proposal, said it was important to drum up support in California's largest city. "The LOCAL Act recognizes that cities like Los Angeles could benefit — if it chooses to do so — from developing a plan to expand nightlife in neighborhoods like downtown L.A.," Wiener said in a statement. "By taking this nuanced approach to empower — but not require — local communities to extend alcohol sales hours, we can support nightlife in California while also recognizing that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution for each and every city in our great state." The bill would enable localities like the city of L.A. to extend drinking hours daily, on select holidays and weekends, or not at all. Los Angeles could benefit from later hours when it hosts the 2028 summer Olympics. "I would think that L.A. would want to at least have the flexibility to serve later during the Olympics," Wiener said during a phone interview. 1 "This bill would enable business owners like myself to provide more jobs and work with local government to provide safe nightlife options," DTLA nightlife pioneer Cedd Moses of 213 Hospitality said in a statement.
